Have you ever heard the term ‘pattern glare'? This describes a condition where people develop a severe light sensitivity, sometimes including reactions to UV light. Certain patterns may also cause issues with an afflicted person's vision.
People with pattern glare may also experience issues such as eye strain and headaches, and may have trouble reading.
Pattern glare can happen to anyone at any time. However, it is often observed in people who have had brain injuries, strokes, or concussions; those who suffer from migraines; and people who have autism, reading issues, or dyslexia.
If you know or suspect that you have pattern glare issues, contact your eye doctor. An instrument called the Colorimeter will help determine whether you do have the issue, and how severe it is.
Tinted lenses are often prescribed for those who suffer from pattern glare. These can be made locally at your Bellingham, WA eye care center. Click here.
